It came!!!

I ordered a yarn swift last Thursday from Knit Picks. It came today! I am so excited to finally have a swift! I've already wound up a ball of hand spun yarn and I love it. It's so much easier than laying the skein down on the table and it getting all tangled up. Or having my poor husband hold a skein in his hands so I can manually wind it up into a ball. I am sure this will be used a lot!











I also made my first ever finger-less gloves. I made a hat with this same yarn, so decided to make a set with hat, gloves and a scarf. I think the gloves could have been longer? What do you think? I've never made any before, so I am learning. And I knit them flat and sewed them together. I think next time I'll go ahead and knit in the round. And make them a bit longer. But it was fun and I will be making more.




What have y'all been working on? It's just the right knid of weather for knitting. Or crocheting. Or quilting. Or just making. Right?

    I love the gloves, I wear fingerless gloves all the time. They keep the blood warm at the wrist which keeps your whole hand warm. Also sometime use them as liners under a pair of wool shooters mittens. I am glad to see you are happy with your new toy. I am learning to weave. So last week was the first story about my weaving tales on my blog. Tomorrow will be the first ever "weaving wednesday".
